  1. The market demand of a duopoly market is given by the equation: P = a – Q. The total costs of the two firms are TC1 = cq1, TC2 = cq2 .
  1. Solve for the Cournot-Nash Equilibrium using “double-the-slope” rule. Draw the reaction curves of the two firms.
  2. Find the output and price for monopoly and perfect competition. Label these outputs on the graph of reaction curves.
  3. Compare the outputs and prices from part a and part b.

Refer to a duopoly market in which the inverse demand function is given by P = 96 − Q. Firm 1's cost function is c(q1) = 6q1 + 300, and firm 2's cost function is c(q2) = 6q2 + 600 (such that each firm has MC = 6). Q1: The outputs of the two firms in Cournot-Nash equilibrium will be: 1) q1 = 45 and q2 = 0. 2) q1 = 30 and q2 = 30. 3) q1 = 45...
